So I seemed to have welded my outer wheel bearing to my spindle yesterday. I got all the hardware off just cant seem to get the wheel bearing off. I spent most of the day, tried heat,kroil, banging,dropping truck onto wood block,tried leverage with tire. I thought if I could get the rollers out I could make it work but no dice. Started to drill and chisel but before I booger it up I thought I would ask. Might go get the cutting torch from work what is the consensus? Thank Scott

It sucks because I had the truck sold!
 
put the wheel back on let it off the jack and pull forward:D something will break free:whistle: :waytogo: gonna have to replace the spindle anyway:D
 
Use a BFH with a chisel to split the inner race in half. Then replace the spindle and bearings.
 
Has bad bearing... Sells whole rig!? :haha:

Ohh.... I see.
You were selling it to begin with.

Tell me that wasn't a $500 bearing... :haha:
